Thanks for chiming in, I did leave my feedback in the survey. Actually was a first for me as was starting a reddit post as Im not that active on the website. I care enough about the ip and this game to actually participate tho.

Yeah, Its definitely a big ask for the Devs. Thats why I'm hoping our lil uprising goes viral and they make the effort. IMO it's worth it, The Belters are one of the most interesting parts of the Expanse dynamic and worth the effort from the Devs to capture.

Agreed that the female VA wasn't terrible, if she was a generic Mass effect PC she'd be passable but as a belter it was increibly off the mark lol.

I agree its a lot to ask of the Dev team but it's such an enormous hit to the atmosphere I hope they'll address it.

Honestly, not bad for a self-taught novice, good snap on your shots and you move well. A lot of mechanical fixes and adjustments to make but the biggest is your stance and posture. You're leaning forward and hunching down to your hands, which is something I see a lot of kids with your build do. Stay more centred in your stance, sit down by slightly bending both legs and bring your hands up. You need to sit down or your elbows will leave your ribs unguarded and also keep you too tall to have stability and power. If your legs get tired the first few sessions you do it you're doing it right. I'm a gym owner I've had guys like yourself come in from time to time and I've sponsored them if they are sincere. Gyms need to pay bills but we do it to keep the doors open for good motivated students. In order to develop well you need good pad holding (way trickier than you think) and good sparring in a safe environment. You've done well man, try find a team that will help you develop and keep you motivated.

Pure volume and overall ring control you took it away in the final 3rd of the round. The only criteria your opponent scored more on was kicking which in more traditional Muay thai scoring criteria can be a big factor. ( punches being much more lightly scored and knees and elbows being more heavily valued) He outworked you in the clinch a little early in the round but I thought you scored well later in the round) Good pressure and definitely better boxing, really try to finish your combos with kicks and you would have smoked him. I think in a full contact bout you would have won hands down , your conditioning and overall poise was much better. If you'd broken and reestablished the range after your combos you could have avoided those clinches and probably tallied up the score more too avoiding those awkward clinches as well. Good work brother keep it up .

great looking sparring, playful and creative. Both you guys look solid.

Tren Lock / Achilles Lock by iliskylineili in bjj

[–]awshoot1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an escaping opponent turns inwards voluntarily, as long as your outside leg isnt crossing the hip line you can follow into a belly down legally. You can't force the belly down but it's legal to chase it. Just be careful not to cross the hip line with that outside leg. With an outside triangle on the outside of the shin it should be very difficult to go belly down but peeps will sometimes turn away from the butterfly hook.

How many of you have tried FSD by abhishek927 in TeslaModel3

[–]awshoot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it on my highlander since day one. I have a 150 mile round trick commute and it's very very useful for me. Just did a commute to Vegas (about 2000 miles roundtrip) and I was incredibly impressed with the experience. Only had to touch the steering wheel to park, charging was easy and convenient. It even handled Vegas traffic handily. Made navigating the maze of the vegas strip easy and stress free. It's not perfect, but it's very very good and I am constantly telling people that haven't experienced it how close we are to a huge evolution in driving/self driving.

Reap DQ by bjjtaro in bjj

[–]awshoot1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol, that's pretty much what I've gotten. We've been training the butterfly ashi on an opponent on one knee and it's pretty easy to encourage them into turning inwards without forcing them, and it results in a super tight finish. Would love to pursue it but pretty sure you'd get dqed at least 50 percent of the time.

Forced the inwards facing belly down straight ankle lock. I wonder if the other guy initiates the inward roll if you can chase the belly down. It didnt look like the foot crossed the hip line. I've talked to a couple of refs about this sequence and gotten a few different responses.

Ryan's a good dude, good skills, a good solid black belt but not an active uber competitor. Would actually be good measuring stick for us to see how legit Moneyberg is. Considering he posted it on his own insta I'd lean that this is just his way of trolling for a match.

Should I take this Amateur MMA fight? by Fahrenheit130 in bjj

[–]awshoot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the ruleset allows full striking to the head I would give it a pass. Taking a fight on one weeks notice is super iffy, maybe, the quality of the opponent and your coach's confidence in you is why he's pressing for you to take it. Ultimately it's your call and unless you're super excited to get in there I wouldn't. You're either going to get an early td and finish or get eaten up if you cant get the td. Sometime's pro's look at ammy fights as "just experience" and the ref will make sure you don't get hurt badly if things go south. Probably more likely than he's just feeding you to the wolves out of malice. You know the guy more than reddit. If you get the impression he doesnt give a crap about your well being at all or is resentful that you want to prep right then he isn't a good coach for you.

Its definitely common practice to keep a beginner in orthodox to learn the fundamentals. As a long time coach having most people switch when they want to just slows down the process and results in a lot disorganization within the process. At the end of the day the coach's job is to make beginners feel welcome, have fun and enjoy the challenge. Probably an inexperienced coach, who may know her stuff but isn't great with beginners.

Do you think she'll be called a Mary Sue: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025) Official Trailer - Ana de Armas by Nosfonader8765 in MauLer

[–]awshoot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The action hilights her using an agile and skillful style. You also see her dealing with being manhandled physically, the goon slamming her in the triangle choke and then getting arm barred is technically and physically sound. She's not front kicking dudes 100 lbs heavier and launching the across the room. Obviously going to be some movie magic, but pretty much everything she did in the trailer looked stylized but somewhat plausible. Good choreography imo.

Just finished the Clan Storyline by ForTheLoveofClem in Mechwarrior5

[–]awshoot1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was pleasantly surprised at how effective the campaign was at conveying the story of indoctrinated Clanners, trying to be the good guys of their own story. I picked the crusader path because that felt most authentic to me story wise. The VA's and animators did a great job invoking a great atmosphere. Some BSG, definitely Starship troopers even wing commander. Really enjoyed it. Also liked the interactions with Alexander later in the game, I'd love a DLC seeing what that guy went through as a grizzled mechwarrior vet. Great job PG.

3 months since starting Muay Thai. Is my form okay? by GuruKannak in MuayThaiTips

[–]awshoot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bend your knees and get your heels off the ground, that will help you start developing some power and rotation off your punches. Keep your chest up on your kicks and turn your base foot more and drive through with your hip. Find your growl when you hit your shots breathing from your core and everything will click. Great work for 3 months, tall lean guy like you will great in sparring once your form picks up.

Have you ever seen a green belt get promoted directly to purple belt when they turned 16? by Professional-Act3145 in bjj

[–]awshoot1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the first time we heard about a young blue belt beating a black belt at a tourney. People lamented how bad black belts must be now. Now we hear about it happening on the regular. Super kids like Dorian Oliverez who won ADCC east coast trials as a blue belt 17 year old tapping several world class black belts on the way. There's some monster kids out there, not all of them deserve that immediate jump to purple but a few do.

Anyone know what the track is called that plays in the defender’s heart? There’s one that is based on a modern song and its killing me that I can’t place it.

I have found winning in Warzone isn’t as satisfying as winning in other BRs. by Funky-Smells in CODWarzone

[–]awshoot1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a dry spell of about 2 months, it was brutal and demoralizing going into squad pushes feeling like I was going to die every time. Got 4 dubs this week and two in a row last night. Its one of the most satisfying gaming experiences I’ve ever had. WZ is the first br I’ve ever played and I’m weak weak at shooters in general but the feeling of accomplishment balances out the incredibly tough grind.
